Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-23

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

We have been made new in Christ!

Sometimes it can be easy to forget this.

He took our old, sinful self and made us new by the washing of His blood.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel anything but new.

Life can wear on us and cause us to forget who we are, and Who we belong to.

Then the enemy whispers in our ear and reminds us of our old life and our old self, telling us that nothing has really changed. He may even remind us of some of the things we did in our BC (before Christ) life. And that can really cause us to stop and think.

But instead of thinking about how bad and dirty those things make us feel and getting caught up in the negative side of that, we need to use that as a weapon to remind the enemy that we are no longer that person.

If we have truly repented, and we have been washed in the blood of Christ, then we are forgiven. The old self has been made new.

We are no longer condemned. We are no longer sentenced to death and eternal separation from God.

So, don’t let the devil drag you down a road that takes you backwards.

We cannot allow him to take us back to those times when we were dirty and separated from God, living a life that revolved only around ourselves and satisfying the desires of the flesh.

So, the next time the enemy begins whispering in your ear about who you used to be, remember these three phrases; washed in the blood, saved by grace, new creation.
